Chapter 46: Are you willing to marry me?

As the crescent moon hung high up in the skies darkness expanded and enveloped the entire night sky like a thick heavy airtight curtain. Flames that radiated out in all directions dyed half of it foreordaining this night to be one without serenity.

The intuition that Ji Bai developed from his long time in the battlefield alongside his thoroughly tempered abilities had helped him temporarily commandeer a sleek black Audi sports car from outside the surveillance cameras field of view. Using that he was able to quickly arrive at the scene of the incident.

Under the concealment of the enveloping clouds the fire that was seen everywhere appeared to be particularly unsightly.

After pulling the car to the side of the road Ji Bai stepped out of it and shot a glance towards the ragged skyscraper in front of him if one could still call it that. The top half of the building had already disappeared and yet it was solitarily standing there like a tree stump whose trunk had been chopped down.

At the cracks within the reinforced concrete was a group of raging flames that had no intention of going out. It seemed that Ji Bai didnt arrive too late; instead it could be said that he had come at just the right time for the main event.

The clueless humans on the street had all felt a sense of crisis as their bodies made a reactive response faster than their brains could ever doFleeing.

Move move! Im actually the department manager! All of you should quickly cover my escape! Ill promote you afterward! A fat man dressed in a suit was trotting his short legs while towing his beer belly. As he coarsely panted for air while running he shouted towards the security guards on one side all who were similarly bent on fleeing. What made him feel despair was that the security guards who would normally bend their knees and act extremely deferential didnt pay any attention to him and spare him a single glance.

Just when he was feeling shocked and angry his own shadow was gradually being covered by a massive shadow cast by the flame.

Ahhh!! He suddenly raised his head and saw a block of reinforced flaming concrete appearing above him. As the distance between them lessened agitation and despair overtook him. The middle-aged mans complexion turned reddish-purple as his voice appeared to break.

Watchers Fury

.

Eh? Amidst the dilapidated walls in the ruins a petite golden-colored figure slightly wriggled about.

With filth staining her adorable tiny face the golden-haired girl was unaware of how long she had been unconscious. She only remembered directing the evacuation of the employees when disaster befell this building. Unknowingly however someone shoved her and had somehow knocked her head against the office desk causing her to lose her consciousness.

A pain that felt like her brain was bursting accompanied her clearheadedness after the coma causing her to let out an unbearable groan.

She wanted to move her body and yet she found that her body was completely unresponsive to her orders. It was almost as if this body didnt belong to her at all. Whats more the luxurious dress on her body had been torn beyond recognition while the bodyguards that were at her side who were usually following her were nowhere to be found. At this moment she felt as if she had seemingly lost everything.

However there wasnt a trace of despair found in her eyes. Her small trembling and sludge-covered hands extended into her collar she unhurriedly pulled out a jeweled pendant that was designed in the style of a knights helmet.

You you will definitely rescue me r-right? LLike how you did when I was young.

Like how you did when I was young

Are you alright little girl? When she was young a situation happened back then that was similar to the one currently. As dark despair occupied her heart back then a lofty silhouette appeared in her vision. His face was hidden behind a knights helmet with a long tassel decorated with the wings of a sparrowhawk while the rest of his body was completely covered in knight armor. Despite the icily cold tactile sensation of his armor her heart gradually warmed up from the way he carried her young self like a princess. He was the bright spot amidst this despair the flame that set her lifeless heart aflame.

Big brother knight Im probably going to die

Hmm? Why? Can you tell me about it? The knight curiously moved his head which was enclosed in a helmet closer to her.

Such a heavy wound is incurable.

Hahaha! If God was to let such an adorable girl die such an untimely death I will definitely not forgive him! With me here they wont be able to harm you anymore the slightest bit. So may I ask this little princess to stay in my embrace for a while? Just a little while will do. The knight laughed in a bright manner his tone gradually turned into one that was firm and reliable.

Then If Im able to survive will big brother knight agree to take me as his wife? The eyes of the young girl began to glow with vigor once more.
